Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from codeine. Hydrocodone is used orally as narcotic analgesic and antitussive, often in combination with paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Hydrocodone is used to treat moderate to severe pain and as an antitussive to treat cough. Hydrocodone can be habit-forming, which leads to physical and psychological dependence. Its abuse liability is similar to that of morphine and less than oxycodone.
